Presenting an absolutely premier lifestyle opportunity! Set on a magnificent 2-acres (approx.) this exclusive lifestyle property perfectly captures the awe-inspiring beauty and seclusion of the Macedon Ranges, comprising an immense architect-designed residence set upon private parklike grounds with a resort-style swimming pool.
Flaunting genuine leadlight to the front door, the grand front entrance establishes the incredible craftsmanship of the timeless home, capturing peaceful garden views from every aspect. Breathtaking open living and dining areas are graced by polished spotted-gum hardwood floors, while vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams and vertical joinery wainscotting to the walls exude elegance.
Continuing to impress, the living areas flow through to the exceptional gourmet kitchen featuring stone benchtops, a glass splashback, walk-in pantry, European appliances including an oven and dishwasher, and a large breakfast bar overlooking the pool. Downstairs also features a study with inbuilt desk and cabinetry, a bathroom, and a bedroom with built-in robes and access to the wraparound veranda.
The remaining luxurious and spacious accommodation is found upstairs, hosting two generous bedrooms with walk-in robes, plus a lavish main bedroom suite with a walk-in robe, balcony overlooking the pool, and an updated ensuite flourishing stone-topped fluted timber vanities, 60cm terrazzo style floor tiles, a frameless glass shower and an indulgent bath with views of the glorious green surrounds.
Also to the upper level is a "secret" loft retreat that is a teen fantasy come true, accessed via a retractable ladder. Geared for family fun, lavish entertaining, and comfort, the home also includes split-system heating/cooling, a wood-fuelled heater, hardwired CCTV security, under-stair storage room, and a large laundry.
Outside, the salt-chlorinated heat-pumped pool boasts a brilliant resort-style decked cabana facilitating poolside entertaining on a grand scale, fitted with an inbuilt outdoor kitchen featuring stone benchtops, Franke undermount sink, a Beef Eater plumbed BBQ, SMEG range, and an inbuilt fridge.
The garden is an absolute Eden, with a playground and cubbyhouse for the kids, a chook shed, and sheer privacy encouraged by the mature native and peach, pear and plum trees encircling the beautiful grounds. Gently undulating to Sandy Creek, the grounds also include a firepit area and garden shed.
An incredible bonus is the 14m x 7m (approx.) powered and concrete shed with a high clearance roller door, workshop area, and mezzanine loft storage. Endless utility is emphasised with a kitchenette plumbed to hot water, a toilet, and concreted areas to both sides of the shed, with the property accessed via a long driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles as well as a double carport.
The superb lifestyle appeal continues, with this sanctuary residing within a 5-minute drive of Riddells Creek's primary school, kindergarten, village shops/cafés and train station, as well as having excellent access to nearby towns and natural scenery, less than an hour's drive from Melbourne. Luxurious privacy in a gorgeous setting, without compromising on convenience.
